I had the same experience with Soulsbournering games that I did with Elder Scrolls games: I gave both Dark Souls 1 and Oblivion incredibly deep dives, devoting most of my free time into them for a few weeks, pretty much did 100% of everything there was to do (at least as dictated by the achievement lists), and then…

Well, he watched The Office, but he really connected with the show and felt like part of the writing team.

Hey, isn’t that the guy from “Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let’s Find Out!”?

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

I, too, like to stock up on game studios when they go on deep discount.

Thank you. For fuck’s sake, “bias” is a noun.

Defensive comments, clearly.

This woman is surrounded by her own petards, and yet I’ve never seen her get hoisted by them! Not once!

I’ve found that the workaround is scrolling back up to the top, then scrolling back down. It’ll shrink down to a much smaller banner with an X to close it entirely.

I hate that I need a multi-step process for closing an ad so I can use the top two thirds of my screen.

We also had Allison Shoemaker to cover whiskey. It really was a golden era for the site.

Tim Collins, if you’re reading this, hit me up.

I’m glad I’m immune to the siren song of mint condition. I’d pay $25 for a loose copy of Secret of Mana with TIM COLLINS sloppily scrawled on both sides in magic marker and never need anything better.

Forbidden: Zero Dawn was one of those games I had to take off of my Steam wishlist because it fit the criteria for all the games I already wasn’t whittling off of my backlog: expansive, engrossing, dozens of hours long, and full-price. It’s a game I’m looking forward to putting back on my wishlist and waiting for a…

I’m just waiting for her to face any sort of lasting consequences other than being briefly startled when someone she’s been an asshole to thinks she’s an asshole. At this point, I don’t know if that’s ever coming, and that’s really disappointing.

During the $.59, $.79, $.99 era, a whole bunch of kids at my high school would just skip lunch and use their lunch money to chill out at Taco Bell after school and eat like kings!

I think, if done right, this could be something in the vein of Josie and the Pussycats, where it’s more clever than its source material and doesn’t really need to feel like an episode of the cartoon to be good in its own right. If done poorly, it could be the animated movie equivalent of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt…

What about Marsupilami?

I couldn’t fathom why the ad campaign was centered around “kids just can’t appreciate this very grown-up burger” when I was a kid because it was just good. It was just a bacon burger with some nice toppings, not slathered in ketchup.

The idea of transforming a 2D character into CGI being a cosmetic surgery is such a delicious plot detail. I hate how much creative effort constantly goes into reanimating the dusty corpses of all-but-forgotten IPs from my childhood, but fuck it. This one has my blessing.

Poor guy. It must be so tough to be constantly reminded that you’re a murderous piece of shit. How insensitive of Trayvon’s parents to make comments that reminded him that he stalked and murdered a teenager who was minding his own business in his dad’s fiancee’s neighborhood after the courts clearly ruled that, “Oh,…
